Excellent location, poor maintenance
The location of the hotel is excellent. It takes about 5 mins to walk to the nearest subway station, Andingmen, which takes you to all the necessary sights at the city center. Also it is a good place to stroll around the famous hutongs and see some traditional way of Beijing life. Few bar and cafe streets also within 15 min walking distance.
At the time of my visit the hotel was undergoing a thorough renovation of the rooms. I had a non-renovated room, which had deteriorated badly. Renovated rooms looked nice, for what I saw. Rooms were dirty however. First room I was offered had hairs all over the place, even in the bedsheets, which made me wonder if it had been changed at all. The one I took was a bit better, but the dust mat under the bed makes one wonder, if it had ever been wiped. You dont wanna walk bare feet in the room, incl. bathroom. Rooms are not especially soundproof: one can hear basically everything that is happening at the lobby.
Breakfast is really not worth the price. Basically its just toasted bread and sausage/bacon with few variation. Hotel staff was very kind and helpful, with one speaking good English.
